Rubric to Evaluate PowerPoint Presentation in Mathematics Excellent: Exceeds Standards and Expectations; Demonstrates Creativity Above Average: Meets

and may exceed Standards; proficient presentation Partially Proficient : Meets Minimum Requirements and Standards; non-mastery Incomplete: Significant Parts Missing or Under Standard; Demonstrates minimal effort

4
PowerPoint Mathematics Content PowerPoint Visual Techniques All mathematical content clear, concise, correct All font > 24; easy to read; animations add clarity not distraction; credits given for all non-original facts and photos

3
Mathematical content is correct but may be more clearly or concisely expressed Fonts, visuals, animations all help to convey understanding; some fonts or visuals could be easier to see; some additional graphics/animations might aid understanding Presenter demonstrates knowledge in presenting but lacks polish; voice level is appropriate but lacks enthusiasm for topic

2
Mathematical content has a few minor errors or omissions Some distracting animations or difficult to read font or incomplete credits detract from overall message effectiveness; could use more visuals/graphics Presenter is not confident in the content presented and/or has audio level too loud or too quiet and/or speaks without emphasis or enthusiasm

1
Mathematical content has major errors that could lead to audience misunderstanding Font choice makes message difficult to read; animations distract from focus of message; credit not given to sources used; lacks necessary visuals/graphics Presenter becomes confused during presentation; uses inaudible level; speaks in monotone
